Under the Christian organization AIDIA, Peruvian believers and SIM missionaries seek to see churches planted and believers discipled into mature Christians in the rural villages of Apurímac. In this region only 8 percent of the villages have an evangelical church.

This project will enable the SIM Paraguay camping ministries to expand. It will better train counselors and leaders, to offer more effective camps through use of a property that is designed for larger numbers of people for family or summer camps.

Many pastors don’t receive any ongoing development for their pastoral abilities, and most of them lack any formal training. Most of the pastors are eager to upgrade their knowledge of theology and through this ministry we help pastors access this education.

This conference will bring together the SIM directors who serve in Latin America to provide leadership development and training.

Communities where He is least known

Met
The largest group of Muslim peoples in Togo are the Met. The majority of the Met live in the central city of Sokodé and in the approximately 60 surrounding villages. Over the years, Met communities have formed in neighbouring Benin and Ghana. Although about 90% of Met are Muslim, many mix Islam with their traditional religion. They are primarily farmers, growing corn, millet, rice, beans, yams, manioc, ground nuts, and okra. They also keep animals such as cows, goats, sheep, and chickens. In urban areas, they tend to be small-scale merchants. The majority of the taxi and truck drivers in Togo are Met.

About 1% of the Met have become believers over the past 20 to 30 years, usually through the witness of friends and family. Several foreign and indigenous missions are reaching out in villages and cities, especially in contexts where the Met are away from their families.

One organisation is translating the Scriptures into the Met language, with the goal of completing Genesis and the New Testament within two years. SIM began to minister among this people 25 years ago through radio, a ministry that continues today. Today missionaries minister through friendship, disciple-making, children’s ministry and biblical training. An initiative is underway that will assist new Muslim-background believers, both financially and spiritually.

Prayers

Pray for openness to the gospel among the Muslim Kotokoli, Lokpa, Bago, Fulani, and Tchamba peoples.

Imagine you were one of the only believers among your people. Your friends, neighbors and loved ones knew nothing of the forgiveness, salvation and beautiful promises of Jesus. How would you feel? This is the reality for Oumar*, a Hassaniya brother in Christ from Mali whose prayers have gone before the Lord for his people for many years.
